Ruger P-89 Disassembly Picture Manual
WARNING If You Don't Have the Propper Skills To Try Any Of This Then You Should Seek Out A Qualified Gunsmith
Do This Of Your Own Risk..
Safety Glasses Should Also Be used as a Few of The Parts are Under Spring Tension & Could Fly Away & Cause Injury To Your Eyes

I am taking the time to make this manual because I couldn't find any information On The P- Series Rugers when I started my "Project P-89"
Maybe in the Future this can help someone else out..
Enjoy!!
Gary

Driving Out rear Sight To The Right, NOTE: Brass End On My Push Tool as Not To Mark Up Sight
As You Remove The Sight NOTE: Firing Pin Safety Spring & Plunger, These Can Easily Be Lost

Slide Stripped Except For Front Sight Assembly, The Front Sight Removal Requires That You Drive Out Both 1/16" Roll Pins With A Roll Pin Punch & Then Either Use A Vise Or Vise Grips To Pull The Sight Out Or Tap Slightly With a Brass Punch

When Reinstalling RH Safety You Must Depress The Dentent & Spring as You Push It Into Place

When Installing The Extractor I Found Using a Wooden Dowel Threw the Barrel Hole In The Front Of The Slide The Easiest, Tap Lightly on the Dowel with a Small Hammer Till It Pops Back Into Place

Checking Firing Pin Protudtion By Pushing on The Firing Pin From The Rear While Pushing The Firing Pin Safety Plunger, You Can Also Check The Firing Pin Safety This Way By Pushing The Firing Pin In as Far as It will go then depress the firing pin safety plunger & it should then allow the firing pin to move forward into the breach face..

This is one of the best write ups I've seen.

Thanks so much!

Wow, I'm impressed.

Very good job!!!

Well done.
When i modified mine and added the P95 trigger. I had a hell of a time finding pictures and info on how exactly to get the ejector assembly back together. I finally found a little info in a manual online and figured it out, but this is very helpful. I am going to take the info and turn it into a pdf and save it if you don't mind.

Cheers,
